« on: October 06, 2008, 02:12:06 PM »
Does anyone use these in a 20 Ga? How do they preform on deer.

Thanks

They work pretty well when the shot is properly placed. My son took his first 2 deer using this round out of his Moss 500. Distances were 30 and 40 yards respectively with one shot kills in each case.

Great deer slug.  I've recovered 2.  One was from a doe shot at 30 yards facing me, slug went through 3 feet of deer and ended up under skin in front of hip.  Other was a buck quartering steeply away, hit in front of hip and ended up between leg and ribs, again about 3' penetration.  All other slugs have been pass throughs.  Recovered slugs were opened up perfectly with no broken or damaged petals.

Very good slugs, I have taken quit a few deer with them in my 20 Ga Remington 870.
